anyway we've got big marketing I mean if you think oil companies are rich you don't understand these companies these beef come and plus see the American government gives money for them to add this beef it's what's for dinner is funded by your tax dollars that goes to tell you that beef is what's for dinner we're obsessed with it because we're told to eat it here's a gluten free salad if there's a lot of marketing into muscles and stuff when you're when you're getting this I mean look there's vodka out there now that has protein in it vodka with protein you gotta be kidding me it's absolutely ridiculous and this brings along the Paleo diet look the Paleo diet is a much better Atkins diet they don't like processed foods it can be a healthy way of eating but here's the problem paleo man was not eating a ton of me these are the people that put out the Paleo diet are not anthropologists okay they're not anthropologists at all and the idea that it's somehow a paleo bar is like can you imagine a cave me I mean like I'll take a paleo bar you know or a brontosaurus burger it just wasn't like that that's not what they had and when you when you actually talk to anthropologists they think the paleo concept is absolutely ridiculous it's got no basis in scientific fact this idea that we never did any kind of evolution except in the paleo era is absolutely ridiculous and the idea that we can't tolerate grains and all this kind of stuff has been absolutely proven wrong but these people aren't scientists that are putting out the Paleo stuff and we could prove they're wrong because we've got fossils and if you look at Australopithecus and you look at the teeth and you do carbon testing you will find that Australopithecus was eating bark and vegetable matter all right they were mainly gathers of course hunters got all the glory but they mainly says their sustenance was mainly on gathering so let's get down to the meat of the issue so to speak let me close up how much protein do we really need well the RDA did some studies and they concluded after many many years many different conferences that the average woman needs 46 grams of protein the average man needs 56 exorcising you're gonna need some more but not a lot more that's a lot less than we get typically we eat a lot more than that we're unbelievably deficient in fiber unbelievably deficient in plants like I showed you yesterday but that's what we get and believe this was based on a normal curve too so the average person needs less than that but they wanted to make sure we didn't miss anybody so they said this is what our level needs to be so probably you can eat even less than that you know what happens you go on a plant-based diet what happens when you go on a plant-based diet people say oh you're low in protein and then any problem you get like I have a cold I've got a cold I've got a cold no big deal and then the vegan says I've got a cold and says that's because you're vegan that's what always happens right like someone will have thyroid disease they'll say my doctor said I got a thyroid disease because I'm vegan that is so ludicrous what do they tell there are millions of meat-eaters that have thyroid disease it's just an absolute they blame everything on the protein let me tell you there's a lot of vegans out there that are not malnourished that it just doesn't exist there's a lot of very strong very healthy vegan people out there and so whenever I'm asked where do you get the protein I look at them and think you know why are you asking me this where do you get your cholesterol but when you look at it there's protein protein is very important it is we need protein to build muscles and stuff like that turns out there's protein everywhere it's in just about every food even fruit it has amino acids in it so you get protein from just about everything people eat meat and think they'll become strong as an ox forgetting then an ox eats meat so when people ask me where do you get your protein I say I get it from where your food gets its protein or I just tell them I get it from fruits and vegetables because that's where I get my protein from from fruits and vegetables and I get asked that question on a daily basis spinach has protein K less protein broccoli has protein mushrooms have protein they all have protein vegan sources of protein are everywhere beans nuts seeds grains look at what you get with a bowl of lentils versus a piece of cow and this isn't everything with a cow you're also getting igf-1 heme iron neu5gc all these bad terrible header cyclic amines you know those grill marks toxic you know that meat is a this is what kills me like process me which we eat all the time as a class 1 carcinogen so is plutonium and yet we don't ever talk about that it's it's plutonium and we don't talk about it I always tell people give peas a chance and you know for God's sakes please eat fruit like when I hear that people say don't eat fruits I mean that's what I really want to jump off a building like you know here's my kids eating lunch all right there look at them dining on their crudité they eat fruit like crazy and then I'll actually be sitting there with someone they'll say aren't you worried about your kids getting enough nutrition and I look along like look what they're you might would and then I look at their kid I'm like how could you worry about my kids nutrition and this way Oh B city epidemic and children we got diabetes and kids that are 12 years old it's craziness out there and changing my diet to no I never think about for everyone how much protein you be today I have no idea I don't think to sit in count how much protein what a ridiculous concept no one in the Blue Zones is counting their protein I eat and however much protein I'm getting it's enough it's more than enough I'm doing things that I never thought I could ever do when I was eating tons and tons of tons of protein so a lot of information out there I hope I helped you tie some of this together to knowledge and use it to get some wisdom and that wisdom is eat this eat these colorful beautiful natural plant-based foods and I'll leave you with this because this is how I want medicine to be in the future doctor I don't feel well not sure why I get this all the time well I want you to meditate 20 minutes twice a day I want you to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day avoid processed foods eat plenty of organic fruits and vegetables spend more time in nature less time indoors stop worrying about things you can't control ditch your TV and see me in three weeks all right thanks guys .

An acclaimed surgeon specializing in weight loss delivers a paradigm-shifting examination of the diet and health industry’s focus on protein, explaining why it is detrimental to our health and can prevent us from losing weight.
Whether you are seeing a doctor, nutritionist, or a trainer, all of them advise you to eat more protein. Foods, drinks, and supplements are loaded with extra protein. Many people use protein for weight control, to gain or lose pounds, while others believe it gives them more energy and is essential for a longer, healthier life. Now, Dr. Garth Davis, an expert in weight loss asks, “Is all this protein-making us healthier?”
The answer, he emphatically argues, is NO. Too much protein is actually making us sick, fat, and tired, according to Dr. Davis. If you are getting adequate calories in your diet, there is no such thing as protein deficiency. The healthiest countries in the world eat far less protein than we do and yet we have an entire nation on a protein binge getting sicker by the day.
As a surgeon treating obese patients, Dr. Davis was frustrated by the ever-increasing number of sick and overweight patients, but it wasn't until his own health scare that he realized he could do something about it. Combining cutting-edge research, with his hands-on patient experience and his years dedicated to analyzing studies of the world’s longest-lived populations, this explosive, groundbreaking lecture reveals the truth about the dangers of protein and shares a proven approach to weight loss, health, and longevity.
